WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD The Duke and Duchess of York re- ceived a warm welcome home upon their arrival at Portsmouth, June 27, after their six months. visit to Aus- * tralia. The Council of the League of Na: tions decided to invite the United States to the League's third interna- tional transit conference at Geneva, Aug. 24. Three persons were killed when an neroplane fell 3,000 feet in the out-| skirts of Winner, S.D- in an effort to restore the hearing and speech of a deaf mute. Canadian employment conditions at) the beginning of June showed a more favorable aspect than in any other month since 1920. Approximately 43,696 more workers were’ .employed | on June 1 than on May 1. Twenty so-called Kirghiz noblemen | have been arrested and banished and their property including some 20,000 sheep, confiscated because — of former Czarist affiliations of the. so- called noblemen. Jugo Slavia has an trans-Atlantic flight honors. “newspapers say that the aviator, Boulinbacbich, is making prepara: | tions for’a flight from Belgrade ‘to | New York in the-near future. ~ .The population of Ontario for the | calendar year was 3,108,000, the lat- aspirant — for est vital statisties report issucd: by | the provincial government shows. The urban population is given as 1,478,189, and the rural population is:1,629,S11. - Two hundred and seven persons in the United States paid taxes on in: | comes of $1,000,000 and over for the calender year -of 1925, as compared with 75 in 1924 and 206 in 1916, the | previous: high mark. Tion. Rodolphe~ Lemieux, Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, was unanimously elected -by the Paris Academy of Moral and Political Sci-j ence, as-the foreign member of the academy in place of the late Cardinal Mercier of Malines, Belgium. Dairy men from ihe four western | provinces will gather in Regina for! the. western Canada dairy convention, to be held Feb. 7-10, 1928..

Gift for Lady Willingdon Winnipeg General Hospital Presenting i Model of Spanish Ship Directors of. the Winnipeg General { Hospital and members of the Provin- -eial Government are making a prts- entation ‘to Viscountess Willingdon: ot a_ silhouette model of a 15th century Spanish caravel. The work on the model has been done by the occupa- tional department of the Winnipeg Psychopathic Hospital, under the supervision of Miss J.- M. “Stewart. Viscountess Willingdon, on the os-a- sion of her recent visit -to the city, remarked on the efficient workman- ship on the modet~ which is a replica of a famous ship.“El Rayo De. Sol.” As a token of regard and as a memen.- | to of her -first visit to the city the government and hospital board de- cided to make the presentation. Honor Two Canadians Alaskan Peaks Named After Fawcett and Simpson . The naming of. two. mountains on the British Columbia-Alaska boundary in henor of two: Canadians has been officially recognized by the decision. After the late Themaa Faweett, D.T.S., Canadian section, a mount.on the international boundary between. British. Coloumbia and Souheastern Alaska has been named Mount Faw- } cett. It is 16 miles southeast of the elbow of Stikine River. In honor of. Willibert Simpson, | member.of the Canadian section, in- ternational boundary commission, mount 6,782 feet high has been named Mount Willibert. . It is .12 . miles southeast of the Unuk River. Both Were Mistaken Playing over an ‘Irish ‘links, choleric colonel lost his ball and ac- cused his caddie of having stolen it. When a moment later it was found the golfer began an zpology. a: “Arrab, niver mindeat all, at all,” said the boy. “You thought Oi was a thaife and Of thought ydu was a) gintlemin, an’ begorrab, we made a mistake.” In 1924, more ships passed through | the Panama Canal than at anytime since its opening. There were 5,230 during that year. Justice may be blind, but she has a good memory. —<—<—<—$$< : W. N. U. 1688 : the } The i United.

A New York jury decided a damage suit brought by the family of a work- verdict of $17,500. The man was 30, earning $2,500 a year. Opposing counsel. claimed that the price tag was much too high. The members undoubtedly thought they were making a fair. valuation. Yet a scientific study proves that they were way off. : “For at the age of. thirty,” says Dr. Louis I.’ Dubin, insurance statis- tician, “the value of the ma. who-will earn $2,500 a year as @ maximum is approximately $31,000. “This is taking into consideration the present worth of ihe. average Bross earnings of men of his age and income class, and allowing about $12,000 for the present worth of his personal- expenses during the same period. Dr. Dubin finds that up to his eighteenth. birthday a boy in the family in the -$2,500 annual income class had a certain économie value even before he began to work and It cost. $7,238, exclusive {of the cost of education, - which . is usually borne by the state or the city, to rear.a boy -to the age of 18 years. The capitalized value of the net fu- ture earnings of such’ a’ boy was $28,654. ‘ He.found Abacevaden a boy in this class had a yalue of $9,333. which in- creased a trifle over a thousand dol- lars wHen he reached one year. — In steady graduatfons his yalue in- creased about a thousand dollars each it. reached $30,818. and at 30, $31.038. At 40 this had declined to $25,795; .at 50 to $17,510; at 60 to $8,409 and at 70 to $5€2. Dr. Dubin could find no means of estimating the value of the majority of women, since the housewife’s work cannot be measured in ‘dollars | and cents. . Is Still a Problem Getting Prince of Wales Seems Hopeless Task After one of the most active years in his life in which Edward Albert | Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor, Prince of Wales and | heir to the. British throne, has been “engaged” or “married” Married remains single. was 17, trying to marry him-off has been a favorite sport. It was at that time that his. marriage to Princess | Victoria Louise of Prussia was moot: ed. The fact that the Kaiser. and | Kaiserin were then visiting Bucking- ham Palace probably gave rise to the report. “Next, Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of the Czar of’ Russia, be- | came the ‘candidate—probably ’ based | on the fact that the Prince and the |Grand Duchess: played together. as | children. ; The prince row often laughs at his former “tea-cup betrothals” as much as he does at all ofthe latest ones that are heaped upon him. The feeling is growing in England that the Prinee will ultimately ‘turn to the sirong solid stock of his owa | country for a wife. This type of mar- riage by the Prince would be the most popular he could make, for. the people of England look upon-him as an excellent type of young English- ‘man dnd they would like their future queen to be just as typically English. Largest Elevator in the World The United Grain Growers’ grain elevator now-under construction at Port Arthur, Lake Superior, will have a storagé capacity of 5,500,000 bushels and will cost $2,000,060. It is to be completed: and ready for operation next February. It is sald this will be the largest single working elevator in the world construcied inone unit. The site has a frontage of 600 feet on Thunder Bay, and a dock 1,000 feet long mill be built to accommodate ships. + | t { In Buffalo National Park, Alberta—The end of ‘a duel ‘between two male \ | tf deer. wardens had to rope them before they could be released.

Settlers Brought Along Much Money Those Reaching Winnipeg This Spring Had Million Dollars Says “ ™. W. B. Robb “One of the striking features. about setilement which has taken place in the west during the spring of this year has been the amount of capital held by newcomers,” stated W. D. Robb, vice-president in charge of col- onization of the Canadian National Railways who, with Dr. W. J.- Black, director of that branch of the com- pany’s affairs, arrived in Winnipeg from Montreal on June 23rd._ “Two months ago,” said Mr. Robb, “dt was estimated that more than. a million dollars in ready cash had been in the hands of settlers reaching Winnipeg jand that amount has necessarily been increased by. those arriving since. These. people will.all be most valuable jassets in the development of the | country and in time will become use- ,ful and prosperous citizens.” Mr. Robb pointed out that the | efforts of the organization had been | directed updén family settlement work jto a considerable degree and that this |year it had been successful in secur- ing both from the old land and the | United. States, some -of the finest | type of settlers ever brought to Can- ada. He stated that the Canadian: | National Railways: had been able. to | bring ina greatly increased number of jana settlers from. Denmark, Holland as well as.from- Britain and the ee ea number from Denmark alone increased nearly three times oyer that of last year, he said. |.. Attention was drawn by Mr. Robb /to the new undertaking upon which the Canadian National Railways are | embarking this year, the development of markets abroad for the produce of | the farm: To stimulate this and ‘to | interest the farmers directly in this. | phase of agriculture, he. stated ‘the company is organizating marketing | tours to Europe, the first to leave next | January, ;a minimum cost and the farmers will le under the direction of an expert marketing guide. : The introduction of new: capiial to Canada is also recéiving the attention jof his organization, Mr. Robb deciar- jed, and a department of natural re- ‘sources has been opened--in London under the charge of a thoroughly ‘com- petént Canadian., Speaking of recent complaints that |more people are being brought into the country than can readily be ab- sorbed in. farm .employment, Mr. Robb said: 5 “T ean, of course, speak only for -the ‘Canadian National Railways, as far | ag our colonization department is. con- cerned; no such situation exists. Not only have we been able to absorb alk the. settlers we hare brought in, but we actually have on file in our Saskatoon office at the present mo- ment one hundred and fifty more re- quests for farm labor than we are in a position to fill. Our other agencies throughout the west are also capable of handling more people to the satis- faction of the settlers themgelves. Canada’s Future Assured Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Canadian | minister of agriculture, in a recent address stated that “Canada is now jready and able to be mindful of the injunction to count her blessings in- stead of reviewing eny ¢ | tages.” From .coast to ‘coast, he de- | clared, men are now Icvoking for | optimistic viewpoint, finding it andj | forging ahead for the greater devel- jopment of the country and the realiz- fation of its natural resources. | ee Ng ea | Fish prefer dark.or shaday sections |of water because the ultra-viloet rays | of the sufi.are harmful to them.
